State police Troop F responded to an alarm at Calarmari Recycling, 20 Dump Road, Essex, around 9:30 a.m. on Dec. 16. A trooper saw a man fleeing the scene toward the woods. A K-9 unit was brought in and tracked the male, identified as White, found hiding in the wooded areas adjacent to Route 154, police said.

White was taken into custody and held on a $25,00 bond until he appeared in court Monday. He was then released on a written promise to appear and given a new court date of Jan. 5. White has a criminal record dating back to 1988, according to court documents, and was ordered to have counseling for drugs and alcohol.
